SEVENTEEN Imagine Stories

13: Old Enough

I may be fool that I let my heart to suffer,

I even thought you're here to make it sicker,

Not until then you make me wrong,

You're now the reason that's why I keep in being strong.

"Noona, can I be your boyfriend?"

"Noona, can I fetch you later?"

"Noona, can I court you?"

"Noona, can I call you by your name?"

When I was in high school, a freshman always bother me.

Oh wait, not bother, he always tries to court me but I ignore him.

Why? 'Cause I am too old for him.

I am an incoming college while him, is still in grade 7.

It's akward to have a boyfriend who are 4 years younger than you. I also dreamed a guy who is 2-3 years older than me or same age with me.

"Noona, can I be your last dance in your 18th birthday?"

"Why so kulit!?" I asked him while thumping my feet on the floor like a child.

He was shocked by my action but he didn't care at all. He still keeps on insisting.

"Because I like you, Noona. Very much." Then here he goes. Always follow me everywhere I go.

He doesn't skip any single second just to be always there wherever I am. He wants to be assure that I will always be fine, no injuries at all, to be always pretty alright.

"Noona, can I--"

"No! Stop it, okay? Can you just go away from me? You make my whole life miserable! My friends, my classmates always bully me because of you. Why? Because they always say that I might look like a baby sitter if we may be together." I scolded him.

I see on his face that he is frightened, and also hurted because of what I said. Because that's the truth.

"I hate it, Dino. I hate you!" Then I walked out.

After that day, I didn't see him anymore. Maybe, he just did what I wished him to do.

Yet, lne day, I see him again unexpectedly.

But not like before. It's totally different.

"Annyeong, Y/N-noona." Someone greeted me, with all smiles.

I look around as if there are other people around, and I might be mistaken by the thought that he's talking to me or...nah?

"Do I know you?" I asked him furiously, looking at him from head to toe.

A man who's wearing eyeglasses, and facemask. It looks like he's in disguise.

"Yes, noona. I am the kid who always 'kulit' you back then." He answered, with his smiling eyes. It took me seconds before I realized who's the man standing in front of me.

"Dino!?" He's taller than me so I didn't recognized him at first. He totally changed.

"Hey Y/N-shi! Can you please go faster?! I need help here! There's so many orders here!" My manager shouted from the second floor's terrace.

"Y-yes Sir!" I said, making my way to the cafe's entrance.

"Wait, Y/N-noona." He suddenly grab my wrist, that made me stop.

"I have many businesses here to finish." I told him, before letting my way again. Yet, he didn't let go of my hand.

"Here's my card. Call me. Or go to that address. I'll offer you a better job than that one." He said before he left.

"Y/N-shi!"

"Y-yes, Sir!"

Days passed before I finally decided to quit my job and contact him.

"Oh, Y/N-noona! You're here! I'm glad you came!" He welcomed me with big embrace.

"W-wait, you told me that you'll offer me a better job. Where's the interviewee?" I asked.

"No need for that. You are hired already."

"Wait, what!?" I exclamed, totally confused.

"Yes, noona. And I'll be your manager." He answered while his eyebrows go up and down.

"And what is my job, then?" I asked, still confused.

"You'll be my personal assistant." He answered, smiling big, showing his white, shining teeth.

"What!?" I horribly asked.

I quit my last job for this!? What the gracious carat bong!!

"Are you not happy? The salary for your job is seven times than your last job's salary." He said boastfully.

Did I hear it right?

"When will I start?" I asked.

"Right now, noona."

And all of most miserable life came, after he accept me as his personal assistant.

I need to know what he likes. I need to find what foods he craves of, what shoes to wear, what outfit to be wear. I'm not his stylist but I think he did it for a purpose.

I forgot to say. The kid back then who always got basted is now an artist. A famous artist. And I think because he had more money now, he did such things to find me, to guard me, and to know if I am okay.

Still he is the kid before, the 'makulit', but a little different from now.

"Are you done mesmerizing me, Y/N-shi?" That's now the way he calls me.

Now he doesn't treat me like his noona anymore. Maybe, because I also did the same. I doesn't treat him as my dongsaeng. I sees him as a man now.

"Mr. Dino, the shoot will start now." The staff told him after I finally done from polishing his make up.

"Okay." He answered with a smile.

"Are you done now, Y/N-shi?" He asked again with his sinister smile.

I just nodded and rolled my eyes.

But before he goes out, he stole a kiss on my forehead, that made me shocked.

"Don't miss me. We'll still see each other after my shoot."

Then stole again a kiss, but now on my lips---short, yet full of love.

"Promise, my dear wife. I'll be back." He said before he left.
